Hello,
Time to pick the collective brains here
Have a 2018 RB21 Funfinder, rear axel is badly bent, both sides, front axel slightly bent on right side- inner tire wear . I believe this was caused by a combination of load, sharp turns to get into parking area.
Plan on changing both axels, would like to upgrade from the OEM 3500lb units w/ 5 lug 4.5" pattern. Upon looking it seem the next step up is 5200lb w/ 6 lug 5.5" pattern . Is this to much, will it result in a harsh ride?
I had hoped to reuse springs & wheels, but it looks like I need to move to larger rims. Possible to reuse existing springs?
Any other things to watch or check before moving forward?
Thanks
